Tallon is making a costume!

[Tallon]

Yes, I want to make a Predator costume. BUT....it has to be on the cheap. I am probably going to make it out of foam and cardboard and stuff, so yeah, if anyone has any advice that would be great!!

 

[Tallon]

It will be a classic Predator, most likely.

If you're going to use eva foam I recommend using a Dremel-tool with a sanding bit, and a sauldering iron to shape it (make sure to do it in a well ventilated area/outside since when eva gets burned the smoke released is higly toxic!)
Hot glue will be your friend and you will need lots of it.

 

[Tallon]

Yes, I'm already going to buy some hot glue. I'm probably going to pop to my local craft/DIY store and see what I can find really.

It will be a classic Predator, most likely.

What? BENSIN commenting but not tearing Shane Black to pieces?

Thanks man

 

[LunaticNic]

Jungle hunter already did that for him

 

[Tallon]

Clearly not enough XD

I will strongly recommend that you save any templates you use. I am redoing my costume in leather pieces for durability.

 

[Tallon]

Thanks for that advice!

Hows the progress Tallon? anything to share?

 

[Tallon]

Unfortunately, due to hundreds of public exams which I have to revise for, I have postponed this large project for the foreseeable future, most likely the summer. Sorry about that but there's very little I can do to change this. I will however continue with some custom figures for you all to have a gander at.
